“…Analysing the impact of the sensor array geometry on the performance of source localisation and finding an optimal placement for the sensors have been addressed in the literature [17–23]. The effect of optimal sensor placement has also been discussed in some other applications including fault detection and isolation (FDI) [24] and large‐scale communication systems [25, 26]. In order to find an optimal placement, different criteria have been studied, including geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) [17, 18], information theoretic criterion [19], and Fisher information matrix (FIM) [20–23, 27, 28].…”
